Trojan Destinies (τυγχάνω and τεύχω in the oldest Greek epos)
Roreitner, Robert ; Fischerová, Sylva (advisor) ; Chlup, Radek (referee)
The aim of this study is to introduce the idea of fate present in Homer's Iliad. By "idea" is meant what gives the unity to apparently incoherent views (1) of fate as death and life's content; (2) of fate as a given lot and a power; (3) of fate as what is shaped by men, and what meets them. This triple polarity of meaning is explored on two levels: (a) the level of construction of the epic (how the fates are represented in the poem) and (b) the level of the Homeric expressions for fate (how the characters and the narrator talk about it). Both subjects have been treated many times and from various perspectives in the existing secondary literature. That's why this study does in neither case aim at an exhausting analysis. As for the construction of the epic, it focuses on the role played in its structure by decision, and especially on how the various decisions of different characters are integrated into the unity of narration. Among the expressions that are standardly envisaged it treats in some detail only the two most important, i.e. μοῖρα and αἶσα, although at the same time it considers also two verbs, τεύχω and τυγχάνω , to which the due attention has not yet been paid. Exploiting the results of formal-literary studies of the last decades this study returns back to a question formulated in the...

Information system to support teaching
Vaško, Ľubomír ; Pecinovský, Rudolf (advisor) ; Šlajchrt, Zbyněk (referee)
The aim of the thesis is the design and development of a simple information system to support teaching. The first part of the thesis explains the basic concepts of e learning, the selection of systems for analysis and evaluation. The beginning of the second part aims to define the general and functional requirements necessary for a simple portal to support teaching. This system should be an alternative to selected robust systems. The work also deals with the description of technology and system architecture developed. The final section of the thesis regards the installation instructions and user manuals which contain screen shots of the system in addition to the system's features. The practical output of the thesis is a modular web application which is available to users through a web browser. The developed system can be extended with new modules. The system architecture allows for future development to be distributed between developers devoted to creating the user environment and developers involved in the application logic
